Expecting to Marry Her
Gloria shook her head. “Don’t mention it.”
Deep down, she felt guilty for breaking her promise of working with him on that project even though it
was out of her control that Jordy stole the partnership away.
Most of the time, she wanted to make it up to him.
However, the compensation Jonathan wanted was that she could marry him.
There was no way she would agree.
Jonathan studied her face when she was sitting on the sofa without any intention of striking up another
conversation.
He broke the silence with a smile. “If you’re busy, you don’t have to think about those programs. It’s not
necessary.”
Gloria shook her head. “It’s a promise I should fulfill. Besides, I’m not just drafting the proposal as a
favor. When White Group and Brown Group enter a partnership, we’ll have a lot to gain under your
guidance.”
He sighed in dismay. “Do you have to draw such a clear line? If you want, everything I have is yours.”
She looked up at the man. The answer was in her silence.
That was not the life she wanted. She would not get married or fall in love again.
Following another sigh, he said, “I know that Jordy hurt you, but not every man is like him. I am an
exception. Gloria, you can try accepting me. As time goes by, you’ll see whether I’m sincere or I’m
using you.”
She smiled at the man and said in a nonchalant way, “Whichever the case, it’s not my consideration.
You should stop wasting your time on me. My heart is a stone.”
There was no way he could melt a heart of stone.
A flicker of dismay flashed across his eyes. She captured it and felt surprised.
For a moment, she wondered if he really liked her.
“I know, but given time, you’ll find that I’m different from Bryson.” A gentle smile tugged at his mouth,
and his deep eyes were twinkling.
She frowned and opened her mouth. Before any word could come out, he smiled and got up.
“It’s getting late. I should go to the office and leave you to rest.”
It was not late at all and just around one o’clock in the afternoon.It could be just a formality, or he was
referring to a nap.She said nothing and just watched the man leave.He was indeed different from
Bryson.
Bryson’s eyes were full of affection, and he was honest. Even if she would not be with him, she was
touched by his sincerity.
In contrast, Jonathan was undisciplined, elegant, and reserved. What he gave people was a sense of
ecstasy rather than pressure. His attitude was the same to everyone, which conformed to his reputation
as a playboy.
After a moment of hesitation, she went to see him off. It was basic courtesy.
In the doorway, Jonathan turned back and smiled at her.
“Gloria, we still have ample time. I’ll give you time and enough expectations, and you can pay more
attention to me. As for the rumors…”
